A little earlier today, we mentioned that Team Canada executives might be at the Bell Centre for Tuesday’s game.

That’s what Sportsnet journalist Eric Engels revealed

“Don Sweeney and Julien Brisebois among Team Canada brass members expected to be at Bell Centre for Kings-Habs tonight.

That said, they’re currently in Toronto for GM meeting and it’s snowing a lot here in Montreal…”

Sweeney and Brisebois were indeed present for the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Los Angeles Kings, last night at the Bell Centre!

“Looks like they made it, along with Doug Armstrong “

Sam Montembeault once again not looking great with Team Canada brass in attendance…

Do you think Samuel Montembeault will be selected to represent Canada at the Olympic Games?
